Bearing the terrible clichéd nature of this question, what do you reckon people will say you sound like?
A psychedelic pop-punk-surf rock band loaded with killer hooks. We strongly believe we are the illegitimate children of a bizarre encounter between Aliens, The Stooges, The Small-faces, Green Day and The Beatles.
When are you playing live/releasing your album/EP/single/etc?
We are launching Radio, the second single/EP from our soon to be released debut album this Saturday October 13 at Revolver Upstairs. We will be onstage at 11pm!
What part of making music excites you the most?
The adrenaline rush of being on-stage and having one of those “Great” gigs, when the band is absolutely rocking, and everything falls beautifully in to place. And the feeling you get when you`ve just written a good song!
What’s the strangest place you’ve ever played a gig, or made a recording?
The strangest place would have to be at Tonteknik Studios in Umea, Northern Sweden, about 600kms up from Stockholm. We mixed our debut album in what had been the “therapy” room of an old Asylum with Pelle Henriccson and Eskil Lovstrom (The same producers who produced The Refused`s Shape Of Punk To Come).
Do you have any record releases to date? What are they? Where can I get them?
We currently have two singles/EPs available that are from our soon to be released debut album. Our first release was for our February EP, the second being for the upcoming Radio release. They are both available as a digital download or as a CD hardcopy via our Bandcamp website – atomicbliss.bandcamp.com or directly by contacting us via our Facebook site.
Describe the best gig you have ever played.
Our best gig would have to be when we played the Aussie Big Day Out Festival in Ho Chi Min city in Vietnam in early 2010. We played to approx 1,500 Australian/American/Canadian expats at a festival that was set up by the local expats to help raise money for charity. The crowd were pumped and we played a great show!
If you could go on tour with any musician or band, who would it be?
It would have to be Frank Black and The Pixies, true purveyors of eclectic art-rock. One of the most influential/important bands of the last 20 years.
Anything else to add?
Get your rocking shoes on and your ya-yas out and come to our single launch for Radio this Saturday night at Revolver. We are playing with two great supports, The Elliots and The Atlantic Fall, entry fee includes a bonus full album length CD hardcopy of The Atlantic Fall`s debut album and the Atomic Bliss, Radio, EP. See you all there!
